7.2 Selecting the right program*
The Symphony breast pump is installed with
the Symphony PLUS program card, which
contains two pump programs. The goal of
the INITIATE program is to initiate milk
production. The MAINTAIN program is
designed to build and maintain milk
production.
➙ It is possible that the Symphony Stan-
dard program card is installed on your
Symphony breast pump. The Standard
program is optimised to build and
maintain milk production after secretory
activation has occurred. For operating this
card, see §7.5. While the Standard Card
can be used to initiate lactation, Medela
recommends using the INITIATE program
of the Symphony PLUS program card.
See chapter 11 for ordering information.
